"May I know how many of you here are programmers?" Richard asked.

Hearing him, the entire class simply looked at each other before some of them raised their hands.

"Good. Now you, how much did you make last?... How much was the last amount that was given to you by your client?"

"Are you trying to shame me? Can you afford six thousand dollars?" the boy said, as Richard almost broke out into laughter.

Looking at his phone, he immediately transferred some money from his main bank to one of the many microfinance banks he had an account with.

Several minutes later, he received a new credit alert, and looking at his notifications, he noticed an older message from less than a day ago.

It was a credit alert from the company that owned the Bug Bounty program. It seemed someone had bought his cybersecurity package.
